Masquers: A Piece of My Heart
Black Box Season Opening Production

The Armstrong Masquers theatre troupe presents Shirley Lauro’s powerful, true drama of six courageous women who went to Vietnam to support the troops, how the war changed them, and a nation’s response to them.

A Piece of My Heart, award-winning Lauro’s best known work, has been produced over 2,000 times around the world and holds the distinction of being named by Vietnam Vets of America, Inc.: “The most enduring play in the nation on Vietnam”.

Student director, Gabriel Michael says “On the surface the play is about the brutality of war, but underneath is a coming of age story at its center. This story will not only resonate with our military community, witness the familiar green fatigues and boonie hats, but will also impact our students and everyone who sees it. A Piece of my Heart is a love story raised triumphantly on the shoulders of those who gave so much and received so little.”
